Dear Mr. Budden,

I am writing to express my interest in your school. I am applying for grade 9 and Crescent is my first choice. Currently, I am in grade 8 at The Sterling Hall School. We’ve met briefly at the SHS School Fair and again when I took a tour of Crescent in late October. I am well suited to attend Crescent because I am a smart, creative and well-rounded individual and Crescent has a lot to offer to its students.

I think that I can bring a lot to your school. I am creative and express this creativity through music. I play the bass guitar for at least half an hour every day and I play trombone in music class. I’m interested in rock, hip-hop, jazz and blues. I have also won numerous awards for my proficiency in academics. These include: The Jack Hodges Award for highest academic average (2007), The Rice Cup for Math (2007) and numerous “Proficiency” awards for effort and achievement within one’s class (2005, 2006, 2007). I also participate actively in school sports and was the school’s Fraser Bertram Junior Athlete of the Year in 2006. I’m not easily stressed and am easy-going. Because of these reasons I think I am well suited to attend Crescent.

I’m excited about what Crescent has to offer. It has an excellent academic reputation, the facilities are great and the community seems very nice. I have many friends at Crescent already and many others are applying this year. I live near Crescent so I have many neighbourhood friends that go to Crescent too. Because of this, one of the main reasons that I want to go to Crescent is community. I also like that Crescent offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The ability to earn university credits in high school is incredibly useful. It seems that AP offers a lot of flexibility and that it will let me focus on my interests. These are some of the reasons that I think Crescent is well suited to me.

There are many schools that I looked at for grade 9 but none of them seems to fit me as well as Crescent. I enjoyed speaking with you at the Open House and I look forward to my interview with you. I hope this letter has helped you understand more about why I want to come to Crescent.


Sincerely,


Adam Noble-Marks
